Located in downtown Manhattan, the New York Law Institute is a membership law library, serving the legal community continuously since 1828 by providing access to resources its members need but cannot maintain on their own.

The person selected will have responsibility for two key areas: 1) technology supporting the delivery of resources and member services and 2) technical services systems supporting internal operations.
The successful candidate will work in partnership with the Executive Director to identify opportunities for developing and enhancing the technologies critical to NYLI’s success. These include the creation of catalogs integrating NYLI and member records, the ongoing enhancement of the website, and other projects using collaborative technologies to enhance members’ experiences.
Qualifications: demonstrated ability to work with information technology to deliver information products and services through web-based applications, implement and administer online library systems, and develop services using Web 2.0 tools.
